Broken Candy Bars

Dear Friends and Family,

In our light months of June & July, we are trying to get our older home on the market to sell. Chris is working extra hard with fixit projects, and I'm just tired and exhausted from the move, party, school and shuffling kids everywhere. But I am feeling a bit more rested today.

We had a wonderful anniversary away from it all, just driving, spending wonderful low key time with Alesia's Dad & Mom up north. We were able to see some family and friends on our way back, which was long over due.

We talked and listened and enjoyed the quiet time. Now we need to hunker down and work hard for a few days and weeks to sell our previous home.

Tonight we had dinner together and passed out the candy bars given to us at our party last Saturday. Every one of them was broken. Many things have been broken over the past year...some big things, some little things, some hearts. And many times the one breaking them doesn't say anything or admit anything.

It's my prayer and hope for the Haak Family, that someday they will admit what they break, and seek forgiveness for breaking the little candy bar with their hands, or the family member's heart with their words. That will be a beautiful day in our family. When we can trust each other enough to do this.

God bless your day. We need your prayers during these long days for the next month or so!

In Him, Alesia & Chris

Pray for those who persecute you....

Matt 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven...."

Matt 5:44" But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of the Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.


Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.....

Phil 4:5-9 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.


2nd Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

We adopted 4 older siblings from Ukraine in 2010 and hope we can help.

We will share what we learn and help you when we can. There are great supports here on this page. Sometimes it's one day, moment and breath at a time. And you're not alone. Love, Alesia & Chris
